The Fourth of July celebrates the birth of the United States of America. Founded July 4th 1776, with the signing of the Declaration of Independence, America is celebrating its 239th birthday this year (2015). July is a time for celebration, fireworks and family-get-together's, but it is also a time to honor our Veterans (men and women) who are putting their lives in danger every day for us, and those who have made the biggest sacrifice for our freedom with their lives.
Have a Jazzy July!

Purposeful Parenting Month
|
July is Purposeful Parenting Month. Parenting is the ultimate long-term investment. From talking and reading to infants to making values clear, parents exert enormous influence over their children's development. In a rapidly changing world, parenting seems subject to fads and changing styles, but the needs of child development as delineated by science remain relatively stable.
